You see the oddest things at the beach!!!

I had a guest come in the Sunset Properties office this afternoon in a bit of a panic. She was very upset at what she saw on a neighbors balcony just below her. It seems she was enjoying the great views from her balcony and looked down to see who was at the pool. She noticed a few floors below hers (the 5th floor) there was something you really don't see much of at the beach and certaily not on the 5th floor of a condo that has no direct access to the ground but through the condo itself. She saw a rat standing on the edge of the balcony rail. Ok, this in itself was enough to make me suspicious. First how would it get up there without a guest seeing it, and how does a rat balance on a metal balcony rail? Then I asked her which condo as it at because, "I need to do more investigating!" She then proceeded to tell me where it was. I looked up who was in that unit. AH HA!!!! This explains a bunch. My very dear friends Ed and Jo Ann are in that condo, they are jokesters if ever I knew one. I proceeded to catch up with Jo Ann and I asked her, "Jo Ann, did you have something unusal, you know small and furry on your balcony recently?" She said, "Nooooo, Oh wait we did tape a rat to our balcony to try to get the owl to come back. You know we had that big owl land on our balcony, and we told our kids about it and one of the girls sent us this toy rat to see if we could get a picture of the owl." So here is Mr. Jingles trying to attract the owl at Fort Morgan.
